Blossom and Bean: Halal Marshmallows, Halal Candy and a CONTEST!

Blossom and Bean: Halal Marshmallows, Halal Candy and More now available in Toronto!

I had another one of those moments where I gasped so loud I scared everyone around me. If you eat halal, then you’ll understand; I found out that one of my dearest friends is making gourmet marshmallows AND selling halal candy. Her business is called Blossom and Bean.

“The name of my company [Blossom and Bean] inspired by the “marshmallow fluff” peony flower, as well as my favourite baking ingredient, vanilla beans,” explains owner Lindsay Contractor, owner and mallow-maker. Fluffy is exactly what you’ll get too. Her marshmallows are very decadent and if even though I’ve never actually tasted a cloud, I would imagine this is what the texture might be like. I’ve sampled a few flavours and chocolate (pictured above) is one of my personal favourites along with mango.

So who is this Lindsay person and why is she making marshmallows? You might know Lindsay (Maryam) Contractor from her writing on Halal Foodie as well! She’s definitely a foodie!

Lindsay started making her own halal marshmallows in gourmet flavours after being disappointed with the store-bought variety. An avid camper and lover of the outdoors, marshmallows have always been a staple. Since reverting to Islam, like many in the same shoes, certain foods become off limits unless a suitable halal substitute is found.

Making halal marshmallows are just one branch of her business, she is also carrying an impressive line of halal candy: halal gummy bears, halal peach rings, halal sour worms and more. Sixteen varieties to be exact.

The business she’s set off to pave focuses on hard-to-find halal confectionery, key being on quality.

“I have to give some credit to Halal Foodie for making me aware of the demand for halal candy,” We posted about halal candy a month ago on Facebook and the picture went viral. It’s no surprise that many, many others have been waiting for this and it has made a kid in all of us once again!
